Hi all,

From the codes perspective, a spam email is considered to be one that contains an email address or a url. If you have the latest version of Honey Pot installed, such emails should not be getting through. If the email doesn't have either but has some text that shows it is spam, like viagra, you can use the bad word filter in Honey Pot to catch those. If the email is still getting through, please post it in Honey Pots support thread (with broken email addresses or url's) as well as your Honey Pot settings.

This has happened before - some glitch in the forum software it seems. Here is the support thread:
